WOW, SHE MUST HAVE BEEN REALLY GOOD AT HER JOB.

AT THE TOP RIGHT HAND CORNER OF PAGE 17 OF THE NEW YORK POST, JANUARY 24, 2009, WAS A COLUMN

ENTITLED ," REPLACING MICHELLE" IN THE NATIONAL REVIEW, THE WEEK.

HERE IT IS AS IT APPEARED:

SOME EMPLOYEES ARE SIMPLY IRREPLACEABLE.

TAKE MICHELLE OBAMA, THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MEDICAL CENTER HIRED HER IN 2002 TO RUN:

"PROGRAMS FOR COMMUNITY RELATIONS, NEIGHBORHOOD OUTREACH, VOLUNTEER RECRUITMENT, STAFF

DIVERSITY AND MINORITY CONTRACTING".

IN 2005 THE HOSPITAL RAISED HER SALARY FROM $ 120,000 TO $ 317,000 NEARLY TWICE WHAT HER HUSBAND MADE AS A SENATOR.

HER HUSBAND, BARAK OBAMA,HAD JUST BECAME A U.S. SENATOR. HE REQUESTED A $ 1 MILLION"EARMARK" FOR THE UC MEDICAL CENTER, WAY TO NETWORK, MICHELLE!

NOW THAT MRS OBAMA HAS RESIGNED, THE HOSPITAL SAYS HER POSITION WILL REMAIN UNFILLED. HOW CAN THAT BE, IF YHE WORK SHE DID WAS VITAL ENOUGH TO BE WORTH $ 317,000?

LET ME ADD THAT MICHELLE'S POSITION WAS A PART-TIME, 20 HOURS-A WEEK JOB.

MY THOUGHTS: HOW DID THIS BIT OF "QUID PRO QUO" (SCRATCH MY BACK-I'LL SCRATCH YOURS) CORRUPTION ESCAPE THE SHARP REPORTERS THAT DUG THROUGH SARAH PALIN GARBAGE AND KINDERGARTEN FILES?

RECESSION IS WHEN YOUR NEIGHBOR LOSES HIS JOB. DEPRESSION IS WHEN YOU LOSE YOUR JOB.RECOVERY IS WHEN OBMA LOSES HIS.
